The present paper attempts to investigate the prediction of air entrainment rate and aeration efficiency of a free overfall jets issuing from a triangular sharp crested weir by using regression based modelling. The empirical equations, Support vector machine (polynomial and radial basis function) models and the linear regression techniques were applied on the triangular sharp crested weirs rela...

A computational procedure is developed to determine initial instabilities within a three-dimensional laminar boundary layer and to follow these instabilities in the streamwise direction through to the resulting intermittency exponents within a fully developed turbulent flow. The fluctuating velocity wave vector component equations are arranged into a Lorenz-type system of equations. The nonline...

Integrable difference equations commonly have more low-order conservation laws than occur for non-integrable difference equations of similar complexity. We use this empirical observation to sift a large class of difference equations, in order to find candidates for integrability. It turns out that all such candidates have an equivalent affine form. These are tested by calculating their algebrai...
